CPC Recognizes Four 2025 NPTC National Driver All-Stars

CPC Logistics is proud to spotlight four drivers who were named 2025 National Private Truck Council (NPTC) National Driver All-Stars on September 4. To earn this award, private fleet truck drivers must demonstrate high performance standards against their peers throughout the country based on customer service, safety, adherence to company standards, regulatory compliance and community service.

Greg Basnight, William Crawford, Stuart M. Shuck and Rene Umana join 114 other CPC drivers who have been named NPTC National Driver All-Stars—more than any other company in the industry.

Greg Basnight

Greg Basnight joined CPC in 2003 and has been assigned to drive for Walgreens in Browns Summit, North Carolina, ever since. He has covered 3.7 million miles in his 28.5-year career as a truck driver, all without a preventable accident, injury or moving violation.

“I wish I had 100 Gregs,” said Operations Manager Nick Sablich. “His professionalism and can-do attitude exemplify the values that CPC stands for.”

As someone who maintains all safety and compliance standards with excellence, Greg serves as a driver trainer.

“Basically, it all comes down to work ethic,” Greg said. “I really do care that my job is done to a high standard, and I have tried to pass that along to all the guys here I have trained over the years. While I was teaching my wife to drive, it made me realize how important it is to maintain following distance, so you have time to react because the situation in front of you is always changing. My goal is to maintain my safe driving record and a safe working record while taking care of all our stores.”

William Crawford

In 31 years of driving, William Crawford has racked up 3.5 million miles without an accident, injury or moving violation and achieved 100 percent compliance with Hours of Service requirements as well as inspections and corporate safety protocols.

“We are incredibly proud of William and his well-deserved recognition,” said Regional Manager Greg Boyington. “He embodies everything we look for in a professional driver: a commitment to safety, a strong sense of responsibility and a dedication to serving our customers with the utmost professionalism. This is a tremendous honor for him and our entire CPC team.”

William’s job includes training new drivers in Montgomery, Alabama. His professionalism is apparent in his appearance and approach to his work.

“Safety, customer service and adhering to DOT regulations are at the top of my list,” William said. “My goal is to deliver the products ordered with the utmost professionalism as a representative of CPC Logistics. Looking and acting professional is not only a state of mind, but a habit that you practice daily. It lets everyone around you, whether it’s a customer, employer or the public, know that you’re there for their best interest and know what you’re doing. My company has given me the opportunity to make a living for my family, and I feel that the least I can do is represent them with competence and accountability.”

The Montgomery Independent recently highlighted William’s accomplishment in an article.

Stuart M. Shuck

Stuart M. Shuck Jr., who is assigned to drive for John Deere in Davenport, Iowa, has driven 1.7 million safe miles over his nine-year career. He has a fiscal year on-time delivery rate of 99.37 percent, and in June 2025, he was 100 percent on time.

“Stuart is a very dependable, safe driver, and I am proud to have him as part of our team,” said Regional Manager Kevin Adams. “Stuart never shies away from asking questions and is constantly giving examples of things he learns. He displays traits that all outstanding drivers carry with them.”

His father, Stuart Shuck Sr.—a CPC driver who was inducted into the NPTC Driver Hall of Fame in 2024—has taught him many lessons and continues to do so. They work as team drivers for John Deere, covering almost 7,000 miles per week by alternating shifts behind the wheel.

“I am smart enough to know what I don’t know and not do things I know I shouldn’t,” Stuart Jr. said. “I’m not afraid to ask a more seasoned driver about how they would do something or ask dispatch to let me talk to a driver who has done a route that I am on to get insight. In my opinion, not asking questions or using other drivers’ experience is not the best way to be a safe driver.”

Davenport-area media outlets, including WHBF, Quad-City Times and Dispatch Argus recently featured Stuart Jr. and his NPTC award.

Rene Umana

Rene Umana joined CPC 10 years ago and has accumulated more than 1 million miles hauling parts for Toyota Quality Parts Express (TQPE) in Torrance, California.

“Despite frequent route updates, late departures and an increase in piece count, Rene consistently maintained a positive attitude and continued servicing TQPE with a smile,” said Regional Manager David Flores. “His on-time performance and strong safety record set him apart. The client even expressed their gratitude for Rene by requesting that he be recognized as a CPC Driver of the Month.”

To stay in top driving shape, Rene prioritizes his health. When he is not behind the wheel, he exercises regularly and always gets enough sleep.

“I’m a stickler on making sure I have the rest I need,” Rene said. “My family is very supportive and participates. When I have to sleep, they make sure the house is cool and quiet for me. Rest is important so I can stay alert while driving. I need to watch out for many different hazards I see on the road. California traffic can be very heavy, so I must remain very alert to other drivers to keep them and myself safe.”
